If my eldest daughter (who is seventeen) calls me tonight and tell me "Daddy, I was just sexually assaulted", I assure you, the impact of that call is going to be just as strong tonight as it will be on January 30, 2008 (when she turns 18).  I'll be one pissed off avenging mo'fo either way.If the girl - 16, 17 or 18 - goes to the Police and alleges sexual assault - the machinery of the State is going to investigate with some pointed questions - and absorbent swabs - just as pointedly, and just as quickly.The only real question comes in to the reaction of some investigating police officer: "And just what, exactly, were you getting out of a 16 year old girl playing fantasy games with you and your friends Mr. "X"?(assumption - you are a horny bastard who likes young women)Alternative scenario: "And just what, exactly, were you getting out of an 18 year old girl playing fantasy games with you and your friends Mr. "X".?assumption: Let's be fair: it's exactly the same, either way.The assumptions don't change.If you are going to live your life on a defensive basis, caught like a deer in the headlights when something new comes along - then you are. I can't deny that's saying "no" is not a safer course of action. Clearly, it would be.But that is not to say that's it's a reasonable course of action.</blockquote>
